If you want to be strict about privacy, in F-Droid turn off all anti-features and you'll see there is no version of Firefox available to install. You have to make compromises if yo want to install any off-shoot of Firefox.
Iirc anti-features are autodetected from source code. So unused code is too. Also its not like chromium is better in terms of privacy.
Chromium is not an option and it never will be an option.
So what is your suggestion?
I've settled on Navi doenloader that has a built-in browser for websites combined with AdAway
That's a Webview browser right?
I have Webview disabled on both GrapheneOS and Android and Navi works without issue.
So what is it using for a browser engine? It's file size seems exactly like a webview and way too small for anything else.
I assume from whatever is natively built into it, independent of anything else since system apps are disabled.
